The WA Government has unveiled the new designs for the $55 million Perth Cultural Centre (PCC) rejuvenation, including new video screen, improved lighting and increased accessibility.
The redevelopment will connect the centre’s major cultural institutions with new landscaped areas, enhanced shade and greenery, and accessible pathways.
The PCC is managed by the Arts and Culture Trust and is home to the above-mentioned institutions, including the Art Gallery of Western Australia, WA Museum Boola Bardip, State Library of Western Australia, State Theatre Centre of WA, The Blue Room Theatre, and Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts.

“This is an important project which will support the reinvigoration of the city and helps to position the CBD as not just the economic centre, but the cultural centre for the future,” said Minister for Cities, Jenny McAllister.
The design was developed after close consultation with local First Nations representatives and community members, with building set to get underway in January of next year.
The Cook Labor Government is investing $45 million towards the project, with a $10 million contribution from the Australian Government.
“Our focus is getting on with transformative projects that encourage people to live in our city – including the rejuvenation of the iconic Perth Cultural Centre, the ECU City Campus, the WACA redevelopment, the Pier Street affordable housing development, and delivering the new East Perth Primary School,” said State Member for Perth John Carey.
